Boxing champ Anthony Joshua is ready to move out of the ex-council flat he shares with his mum – but he might take her with him.

The heavyweight hero, who earned £15million when he beat Wladimir Klitschko for the world title, revealed he will spend some of his fortune on a new pad.

He told the Mirror: “I’m looking at buying somewhere for an investment.”

A source added: “Anthony likes to keep his feet on the ground, but he works hard and he has made a lot of money this year.

“He wants to invest in property. He might even persuade his mum to move into the bigger house with him.”

Anthony, 27, rented a £20,000-a-week mansion during training for the April title fight, but moved straight back into mum Yeta Odusanya’s humble two-bed in Golders Green, North London, afterwards.

The 6ft 6in champ admitted he preferred the stability of being at home with his mum, saying: “We’re back together. It’s great.”

He bought the local authority flat for her in 2013 for £175,000 when his boxing career took off. He also bought a £500,000 penthouse in Finchley, North London, for his on/off girlfriend Nicole Osbourne, mum of his son Joseph, 20 months.

Anthony credits his mum with turning his life around after he went off the rails as a teenager, He got into street fights with gangs after leaving home. In 2009, he spent two weeks on remand in jail. He wore an electronic tag for 14 months.

But his life improved after he moved back in with Yeta. He went on to win gold at the London Olympics in 2012.
